LSP_Kevin Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Great work as always Chris. @ Dom:Which book do you mean? Chris, this is an old saying in English ('take a leaf out of your book'), which basically means to use or copy someone's method or approach.

Martin Cwiertnia Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Great work Chris. This metod with darken laquer is very impressive. Chris have You ever tried to put filters, which are common in military vechicles subjects and shading wit the use of artist oils thinned with the white spirit ? I found this technique very useful, and it adds new horizons to aircraft weathering process. Looking forward updates of Your amazing work. I really like Dora You've made Regards, Martin.

Chris Hannover - Germany Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Thanks mates! @ Ron: I used the clear colors from Tamiya. @ Kevin: Thanks for clarifying this @ Martin: No i havent yet, but i have the Tamya weathering Powder Sets and i use them often. But thanks for the hint. I should try it next time. Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pratt Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm really liking this build Chris and your weathering looks great.There's a company that has photo etch ring sites...Waldron.Sorry mate,just remembered the name. I also like the idea of your mist coat of a darker color to change the look of the entire build.Very cool...cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
